Adams' lawyers protest denial of access to letter

Lawyers for Liam Adams have been refused access to correspondence which they claim could be relevant to the fight against his extradition to the North for alleged sex abuse charges, it has emerged.

Today the High Court ruled it would not grant an order of discovery sought by Mr Adams (aged 54) for a letter sent by authorities here seeking “further clarification” of certain issues from the Crown Solicitor’s office in Belfast.
